Topic: a brief update, regarding that China thingy (Read 5351 times)
There's always going to be some demand in China for btc. Even if people have to get creative in order to obtain it. A country with such strict banking controls was made for bitcoin.
Huobi's proposed legal workaround:
"Speaking to the media outlet, Huobi co-founder Jun Du suggested that the company is considering a plan to use its exchange platform as a marketplace and price aggregator for digital currency buyers and sellers.
Under this proposal, Du told Sina Tech that users would form their own online chatroom group using a popular tool offered by the tech giant Tencent. Buyers and sellers within this group would then exchange bitcoin or recharge codes for RMB, interacting independently of the exchange.
Du explained that this workaround would relieve a current pain point, that Huobi must handle the transition of bitcoin to fiat currency"

They'r going to ban it totally. Then Russia and other countries that are not under the US influence. So the BTC prices are only expected to going down.
You mean the way the price of Marijuana crashed when the US outlawed it? That was sarcastic, in case you don't know. Making things illegal makes them harder to provide, which drives up the cost, the price, and the profit, and thus invites more people to take part in the industry. This is exactly what happened to me when the banks started closing accounts on btc exchanges in the US: I found localbitcoins, I discovered that functioning as a one-man exchange (I buy for a little under the market and sell for a little over it) earned me more money than anything else.
The hurdle for most people in following this particular road to riches is the propaganda that equates morals with legislation. The insidious lie that "against the law" means "immoral" is driven into us constantly through all manner of strategies. If you can get over this and realize that the government and its enforcers are a form of cannibalistic human parasite from which you must learn to protect yourself, the road is open. The next hurdle is to re-discover your own conscience so that your behavior, no longer constrained by the insidious lie, is still constrained by your moral principles. After you clear those two hurdles, you can earn tons of money through moral but illegal behavior.
The Trial by Jury, as shown in the "essay" (more like a book) of the same name by Lysander Spooner, was created in order to protect those who clear these two hurdles and are subsequently captured by the parasites. In the trial, the victim's (defendant's) job is to show the jury that the law itself is immoral, and the jury's duty is primarily to judge that law first, before deciding whether or not the defendant broke it. If it's a stupid law (most of them are, sadly), the jury can tell the parasites to fuck off. See fija.org for more info (and no expletives), or read Spooner's book, free on Kindle, I think.
Here's a list of all operating banking groups within China:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banks_in_China
I think China Construction Bank and China Merchants Bank have officially closed all bitcoin related accounts.
Please feel free to Strike some more off the list if you know ??
Seems like there's still a lot of other banking groups still doing BTC business at the moment

I predict the bitcoin goers in China will boost the BTC price to 1k+ after the silly rumors and speculations subsided.
This year is unlike last year when the news coming out of China had a major impact on global nerves. This year is different. The ad-venture capitalist has their eyes wide open this year.

Bitcoin action against the central bank is actually bitcoin exchange for rectification of the move.

However, these transactions did not play a price discovery platform to promote the positive role of Bitcoin development, but on the contrary, through the so-called "currency finance financial" leverage trading and short mechanism, completely China's virtual currency trading becomes Makers fight each other, the investor's profit-driven bloodbath repeated games, even gradually slide into the abyss of money laundering, illegal fund-raising and other criminal activities.

maybe they aren't going to ban it totally
they just stop people from getting scammed by only allowing certain companies they've checked out or something

A pity really, imagine the profit it can bring the country if they accepted the coin and trade freely (to a certain extent) 
The run-up from $100 last October was China.
There's massive denial about the China situation from Bitcoin fanboys. There are desperate attempts to misread clear guidance from the PBOC. Read the comments from people in China. Bitcoin in China is over.

100% BS. Just compare the BTC-China volumes with that of Mt Gox, Bitstamp and Bitinstant volumes. At no point of time China accounted for more than one-third of the Bitcoin volume.
The run up from $250 WAS China. You may be tired of hearing about China but China is STILL more than 50% of the market cap of BTC right now so calling it BS and saying it is insignificant is incredibly foolish and stupid and ill-informed. NO LONGER A FACTOR??? LOL

Yup. And then it hits wall street / big player adapts bitcoin / other news. Price pumps to over $1000 dollar: the Chinese will manage to convert their CNY somehow just fine, because they like you and me, don't want to miss the train.

Bitcoin can heal the world! inc China

I think even the short-term affect of this China BS has diminished. People are simply tired of it, and so it's no longer a factor.
WOW are you even serious?!?!?

Are you a Canadian by any chance?
What kind of data do you have that supports your view that we " don't need " China and the rest of the world? I would go as far as to say China was a major catalyst for the rise of bitcoins. Using pure logic would get you to a rudimentary conclusion that we need all the support we can get and that would include the most populous nation on earth.
Look at it this way: Although China does have roughly 20% of the world's population, total global adoption of bitcoin is currently at an incredibly small ratio. Even if China were to completely exit from the market, if adoption continues along its current trend line in the majority of the rest of the world, the figures for both bitcoin's price and usage have incredible potential.
This obsession over the short term effects that China's role plays is actually the illogical part.
Not so illogical for Bitcoiners who want to start acquiring BTC for the future. Why buy-in at $500 when you can buy-in at $350?
You made some good points regarding BTC's adoption! And I hear where you are coming from
Shame bitcoin's price is so sensitive to banking regulations.

I don't think population has much to do with it, considering the amount of wealth that the average chinese family has. there's quite a gap between the rich and the poor so most of your chinese bitcoin enthusiasts are going to carry about 20 satoshies in their wallets anyways. enough for half a chicken wing at the local market
